Fox News should stop lying about global warming

The heat wave should call our attention to the ongoing global warming crisis. While no particular weather event can be blamed on global warming, science has shown that global warming is indeed contributing to the changes in weather and temperatures we are experiencing.

Across the globe, scientists have predicted that unmitigated climate change would cause extreme weather events, including droughts, hurricanes and severe flooding of sea-level cities due to rising ocean levels. Yet Fox News is actively pushing an agenda of climate science misinformation.

Fox has distorted scientific works and the statements of scientists. It promoted the bogus "climate-gate" scandal last year. One of its editors, so it is said, literally directed his staff to deny that the earth is warming.

It is time for Fox News to stop lying about climate change and report the facts that scientists are discovering. They need to tell us how we can all make a difference in dealing with this crisis.
